By putting on a mask, performers enter a sacred realm between the living and ancestral worlds. ✨ In 'Worrying the Mask' 2020, Zina Saro-Wiwa interrogates the use of masks to represent communities and cultures in her ancestral homeland, Ogoniland. While women traditionally do not get involved with masquerade, the artist decided to commission a mask to challenge this tradition. @zswstudio 'Whenever you ask people why masquerade exists, they say it is about social cohesion, about honouring the land and healing. I as an Ogoni, albeit one that grew up in the UK and lived in America, wanted to see if this practise could heal me too. [...] I am still trying to understand if the mask heals or not but becoming one with a community that I am supposed to have “transcended” and planting myself in its soil has done wonders for my soul.' - #ZinaSaroWiwa 🌱 📸 Zina Saro-Wiwa, From The Invisible Man series 2015 Courtesy of the artist and Tiwani Contemporary © Zina Saro-Wiwa #AWorldInCommon 🎟️ See Sora-Wiwa's work on display in A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography at Tate Modern. The exhibition follows artists across the many landscapes, borders and time zones of Africa to reveal how photography allows the past and the future to co-exist in powerful and transformative ways.
